Today Owen, Moore & Co. made their OPP
ening display of new drapery and upholstery
goods, and very interesting event it has
been to the ladies who are always looking
for something new. The art of using drapery
has made rapid strides during the past few
years, and soft, handsome materials have
been produced to sell at moderate prices, de
sirable for hanging in graceful folds at win
dows, doors, closets, over pictures; in fact
Grapes on everything is now the rage.
The enterprising firm of Owen, Moore 6
Co. always seem to anticipate the wants of
the public and now propose to show one of
the best stocks to be found anywhere, includ-
ing shades and fixtures for windows. Mrs
Farrell the manager of this department, has
had long experience in New York and Bos-
ton and is thoroughly competent in the BUSH
ness, and judging from the display possesses
a refined and elegant taste which will be APP
preciated by Portland, and we advise every
body interested in such goods and wishing to
obtain new ideas to visit the new drapery

The prospect of consolidation between

effect that the present Boston and Maine
stock will be made 10 per cent. preferred,

A SILVER s1LL.

The, bill introduced by Senator Far
we'll, Of Illinois, which proposes TO in
crease the weight OF the silver dollar TO
521 grains, an increase Of 1887 grains
above the present standard, Is another
move in the interest of tho gold bugs
and as uecesaary consequence . stab
at the principal mining industry of the
country. We are surprised that q rep
resentative Of the great agricultural State
of Illinois should be found training in
the ranks Of the money sharks of Wall
street, and ardently trust that the good
sound sense of minority Of both
Houses of Congress will impel them to
place the seal of their condemnation on
this attempt of Western Senator to
degrade silver, the money Of the peo-
pie, and at the same time enhance the
purchasing power of gold for the es-
peoial benefit of wealthy capitalists and
National bankers. The attention of
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, is especial
ly directed to this matter and we hope
to see him on the side of the people In
general and his constituents in parucu-
lar.
